New Cloud-Based Image Sharing Solution Announced

Vmware Inc., a leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, announced a new partnership with Peake Healthcare Innovations to produce an innovate new cloud platform for exchanging medical images over the Internet.
The so-called Peake cloud solution will utilize Intel technology and allow “servers of different generations to be easily managed from the same pool of infrastructure resources,” according to a company press release.
A cloud-based system of storing images electronically means that instead of housing images at individual locations and sharing records across a secure connection, the images are instead stored on a virtual server that qualified participants can access.
Using a cloud-based system is said to offer economies of scale that can “lower the total cost of ownership over traditional ‘on-premise’ delivery, while maintaining the performance, reliability and security associated with business-critical systems,” according to the release.
